[net.garden] What are these spots?

Out, out, damn spot!  (No, I'm not Lady Macbeth, nor am I trying to put the
dog out for the night:-)

Some of my tomatoes and peppers develop odd grayish spots on them where
growth seems to be restricted.  The rest of the fruit seems to develop
normally, but the spot grows slowly and is, to say the least, a serious
blemish.  It's not caused by contact with the ground.  It's not epidemic--
it's only hit a couple of tomatoes out of 8 plants and two peppers out of
many dozen.  What is it and what do I do to get rid of it?  (The spots are,
on average, about the size of a quarter.  I've also seen them on
commercially grown chili peppers.)
